The individuals in this file are descendants and relatives of descendants of James Pendley and Amelia Moness Smith who left North Carolina and moved to western Kentucky about 1810. Many believe that James was born in the Shenadoah Valley of Virginia about 1765 and he is found in Grayson and Butler counties about 1810 to 1840. Most of the Pendley/Penley clan in Kentucky are descendants of this couple. Many more descendants joinded the western migration and ended up in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, California and many more locations. Information in this file is compiled from the work of literally hundreds of researchers. But a special recognition needs to be extended to be extended to the following pioneers in the reseaarch work who made it so much easier for the rest of us. Taylor Pendley Connie Misiska Aubrey Levi Pendley Eldon Pendley & Gary Mitchell Merriel Austin and Hazel Rouk Laura Pierson Melba Best W N Oates Mary Matilda Kidwell Pendley and so many more Errors and ommissions are going to be present. We will try to take care of them as they are brought to our attention or additional research is performed. Please let us know when you find one. In addition to the individual information and family groups, watch for the notes. These will indicate what the sources of information were and as near as we can document, what the source really said. Also there is a lot of burried information. The program blocks providing data on individuals for whom we do not yet have a death date. If you can help provide a death date, we can make the rest of the information become available to everyone. Martin Pendley
